| I caught some random parts this past weekend, and them keeping the old theme was a nice touch. The animation style isn't really one I like for transformers, but it could be something I could get used to. I wasn't really paying attention enough to say anything conclusive about the story but it was also not enough to keep my attention, I'll need to watch a few episodes in their entirety to get a solid opinion. |

| I've not seen it, but it does look promising. |
| 'only the dead have seen the end of war' Plato listen to the whispers of your ghost  |
| That art is awful.....awful. .........AWFUL. C'mon, part of the TF's appeal is the aesthetics. How can you have that when it looks like something your eight year old brother drew. And it looks like total crap, but you don't tell HIM that, 'cause...well, you know....he's eight. But some so called "adults" came up with this, a fact that boggles my mind. Somebody call me when they're doing one for Binaltech or a G1 remake (or even a new TF anime)... |
| Jumping in Headfirst - I hear reading it causes immortality. Warning. Reading may not actually cause immortality. |
| TF anime = TF Armada :D Well, TF Animated has it's crappy art based on current fasty style sketches but rest of the toon is great! Ok, it have too many weak fillers (super villans are horrible @_@) but robots are awesome! In my opinion those are the best character designs in all TF history. This is the first time when Optimus doesn't irritate me. Rest of the Autobots are also easy going - G1 childness and naive manners where pain in the ass for me. Decepticons rock in TF Animated - Blitzwing is simply fantastic! |
| Now that you mention it, I heard Optimus was a n00b in this one. More reason to hate it. I also get the feeling the Autobots in that series don't make the best heroes. No heroic Autobots = Waste. Of. Time. BTW...best designs? How do they even transform? :P The animation loses a frame and the robot is just replaced with the car? :D |
| Jumping in Headfirst - I hear reading it causes immortality. Warning. Reading may not actually cause immortality. |
| They are heroic, but they are just newbies (Ratchet is the only great war veteran in this team). And man - i've never liked Autobots so much :) They are far more realistic. And Optimus' face when Sari explains him how humans are 'created' - priceless xD Take a look: http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=r1UgFy47MVg And I meant character designs - mentality, personality etc. TF Animated is awesome here. Just take a look at Blitzwing: http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=5dNJrP2gBSI xD |
| I'm liking the new series, especially now that the second season started... |
 |
| Well, aside from being a total unabashed dork, I just recently discovered this club when it occurred to me that TF might have a presence on MAL, so, I guess I'll go ahead and chime in. First a little Transformers history regarding me - I'm just old enough to have caught the tail end of G1, and really got into TF with Beast Wars, so, um, there. Anyway... I for one am really enthralled with the new series, and....dare I say it...yes, it's better than G1. The characters, while not the greatest, seem to have more depth than their G1 counterparts (especially Blitzwing, who just makes every scene he appears in). And once again, dare I say it, best Starscream ever. Sari for once is actually more than tolerable, and I like Dr. Sumdac. The whole show just seems to have a pretty decent flow to it, and they handle the introduction of new characters pretty well, at least generally. Also, if any of you have seen the toy line - WOW. I think this might be one of the most show-accurate TF toy lines ever, and considering the animation style, just...WOW. Now for the not-so-great stuff. I hate how they n00b'd Optimus. Optimus should be more like how Ultra Magnus is on the show, not Hot Rod in Optimus' clothing. But they actually handle it just well enough for me to ignore it. The human villains are for the most part lame, though Meltdown is a very interesting and worthy match for the Autobots. That's actually all the legitimate complaints I have, but the biggest gripe I have is actually related to the toy line. In most of the toy lines, it's pretty clear that they actually went to some pretty great lengths to make the toys as show-accurate as possible. Now, Blitzwing's alt mode is pretty darn show-accurate, and his tank mode is pretty good, but his jet mode completely and totally sucks. Yes, I know, some people adamantly claim that it's show accurate, but c'mon, show me when Blitzwing's tracks are visible when he's in jet form in the show! Ah well, maybe this is just a limitation of the voyager-class model, hopefully they'll do a sculpt of him for some of the pricer lines. |
| Hey, Blitzwing cannot lower his cannons in robot mode - that's the biggest failure in this toy. It was awesome when he started making menace with his back guns in toon. And i admit - Animated is far more tolerable for adult viewer than G1. G1 was for kids only, the plot was simple and predictable. If someone liked G1 - he'll love Animated. And hey, welcome ^^ |
| I only bought Jazz but I'm quite impressed with how much the toy resembles the TV version. Because of the way they are drawn, I thought that design will be impossible to use as a toy model without some drastic modifications... |
|
| Shockwave was a G. Pretend you're an Autobot for countless years to work up the ranks to become the top intell person, only to use it to help out Megatron, and still kick ass. Then there was Wreck-Gar and the whole "Starscream" clone gag. |
| To be honest, it looks boring, so I don't think I'll be watching. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| I watched some of its episodes, and they disgusts me. Just as the newest series 'Prime', it's even the worst shit for my opinion. Too American, and I hate both Animated and Michael Bay's TF visual styles. I can't stand such ugly Transformers, don't want to see them in such appearance, so I ignore this new series and movies. I'm a fan of classic style, i.e. like in G1, H-M-V and Unicron duology. |
